Shallow Sea
What are you?
If this is me,
We've gone to depth,
In a shallow sea.
Shine the spotlight over me,
But it has no use if we cannot see,
The rocks in the shallows,
The storms in the sea,
They’ll break those apart,
Who aren’t meant to be.
A beaten conscience,
An endless feud,
This is it,
I’ve tired of shrewd.
A night on a table,
Two people and a flame,
They talk to each other,
But both want the same,
A mutual destruction,
An end to one name.
Goodbye to the shallows,
And hello to the deep,
A single life follows,
And a welcome nights sleep.
